K-Y™ jelly inhibits increase in endotracheal tube cuff pressure during nitrous oxide exposure in vitro

Abstract Background The increase in endotracheal tube cuff pressure due to nitrous oxide diffusion is a well-known risk during general anesthesia using nitrous oxide. We hypothesized that lubricating endotracheal tube cuffs with K-Y™ Jelly might inhibit the increase in cuff pressure that occurs duri...
